I was noy happy with this one at all. It seemed to drag so much that I never wanted to read it. I only got through it because the next one looks really good. I love this series and always reccomend this for kids but maybe skip this one.

This one was surprisingly good, I really love the twists this one has and how they actually followed the well made poem. Along with that, it's really refreshing to see Jack and Annie actually develop as characters a but finally as they avoid making the same mistakes throughout the narrative that they did from the last book.

I read this book with my students and they enjoyed it. However, they didn't understand this one very well. Most of the Magic Tree House books are easy to follow but this one was difficult.

"Jack and Annie travel back in time to a desert in the Middle East at the behest of Merlin who has given them a rhyme to help on their mission. There they meet a Bedouin tribe and learn about the way that they live. From camel rides and oases to ancient writings and dangerous sandstorms, here’s another Magic Tree House filled with all the mystery, history, magic, and old-fashioned adventure that kids love to read about."

Fantastic book! It really took us back in time. The children were totally gripped by the story. We learnt so much about Bedouin tribes, Aristotle, the history of Baghdad and camels. We'll certainly be exploring other books in this amazing series!
